Title III ESOL Program

English for Speakers of Other Languages

Manassas Park City Schools’ ESOL program serves culturally and linguistically diverse students whose native language is not English. The program seeks to provide students with English and academic skills needed to be successful in school, community, and future endeavors. The ESOL program is offered at each school.

Manassas Park City Schools uses a multi-faceted structured English language immersion program. Students spend the most of their day in their grade-level classrooms. Students’ interactions with peers help them to learn English and American school customs. Our schools offer ESOL classes and content area support to students. The ESOL program varies by grade level depending on students’ needs and state requirements.

The program is taught by ESOL teachers who have special training and are licensed to teach ESOL. ESOL instruction offers supportive learning environments which build on students’ academic, linguistic, and cultural backgrounds. Students’ academic and linguistic needs differ widely, and the ESOL program is designed to meet the needs of all second language learners.
